Against their like opponents, Troy threw for 350-ish yards, 3 TD and 2 INTs, while Brady threw for 600 yards, 8 TD and 1 INT. The same Penn State defense that was considered so overrated when Quinn carved them up held Smith to 1 TD and 2 picks and under 180 yards passing. In my opinion, if Smith lays an egg against Michigan (and I think he will) then, sorry haters, I don't see how Quinn doesn't get the Heisman.Andyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01641135094954003365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-1163189555510172872006-11-10T15:12:00.000-05:002006-11-10T15:12:00.000-05:00Jon, Rice is not a one game wonder (he's 3rd in th...Jon, <BR/>Rice is not a one game wonder (he's 3rd in the NCAA in rushing). Obviously Louisville has a weak D and Rice is also puttin these numbers up against the Big East and obviously we all can't agree what that means. But my point is you can tell what a stud player he is by watching him play. Everyone could see how good Tomlinson was when he was at TCU despite the inferior talent he was playing against.<BR/><BR/>Basically, I just want to give Rice props and I think he deserves to be in the top 3 right now in the Heisman race and could steal it with a big performance in a win vs WV. People do get bored of a one-man race and I think voters could get excited and vote for a late run by a great athlete who performs big in late games (see Charles Woodson coming late to beat Peyton).slaskarishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01397113886860334235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-1163186572929447662006-11-10T14:22:00.000-05:002006-11-10T14:22:00.000-05:00John(ann arbor) I never would have known that wood...John(ann arbor) I never would have known that woodley and I share the same name if you hadn't brought that up.

I know he was good but maybe ...Tillman in the HOF? I know he was good but maybe because he played for the cards I just never thought of him being HOF worthy. I think he is a credit to our country and Ithink he was oen of the few bright spots in professional sports in america, but HOF. What did he play like 5 yrs in the NFL. I can understand guys like gale sayers because they were electrifying and they were hurt on the field but Tillman left the NFL and long after he had left he was killed. IM ignorant to all the facts about him but was he planning on coming back to the NFL after his term in the military was up? Maybe if he was going to come back you could make the argument based on what he might have possibly acheieved later in his career. I think what the Hall should do is create a memorial to all the players who have served their country. You can put tillman next to the best player to come out of the service academies in any sport, Roger Staubach. (the admiral is a close second) <BR/><BR/>Lets face the facts with rutgers winning last night and their being disrespected by the media means that basically three teams have a legit at the national championship excluding the Um/osu winner. Because of the conference championship games texas florida Ithink have the best shot although that western carolina game next week is going to kill us. If arkansas chokes then auburn should be in the equation even though I dont think they will stand a chance on a neutral field against the gators. ND is screwed by being an independent. What sucks for the osu um loser is that it is the end of the season so basiccaly unless it is the closest of games te loser will probably be leapfrogged by one of the aforementioned teams. As much as i hated the adding of the championship game to the sec because of my nostagic view of college ball without it the gators would have never won a natl championship. If texas doesnt pull the upset of the century in my mind it would have been nebraska like three yrs straight. <BR/><BR/>OH yeah spurrier is goign to get an old fashioned beatdown this week. I think that all the teams that have one loss are going to put on a show of their dominance this weekend in an attempt to jockey for final position in the BCS. It wouldnt suprise me if the gator hung half a hunnerd on the ol ball coach and it wouldnt suprise me if the gators lost on a missed field goal. I think this might be the most exciting game in hogtown this year. As usual I will be holding down my regular seat at the bar in the salty dog before and after the game.

I was just refuting the claim that...Troy,<BR/><BR/>No doubt. I was just refuting the claim that BYU is no good because they haven't played anybody good... <BR/><BR/>I am a proponent of the playoff system, period. There is no other NCAA sport where a team can win all of their games in the season and post season and not win the championship. This has happened in the past (Tulane, Louisville, Boise State, etc) and could happen this year with Rutgers. It's BS. If this was the case (16-team playoff), I would have no reason to complain that BYU is getting NO love in the polls. My team would have a chance to prove it in the playoffs. <BR/><BR/>It appears the BC$ is headed for controversy again this year... does that make four out of five years now? Hopefully, everybody will stop saying how "the regular season is a playoff". Yeah, well what do you do when you've got five teams that all have lost once? And one or other "supposedly" inferior teams that are undefeated? <BR/><BR/>I'm glad Rutgers won, just a bit surprised that nobody can see that Louisville, WEst Virginia, and Rutgers have figured out how to "play the game" with scheduling in order to inflate their rankings. Non-BC$ teams are at an immediate disavantage, and it should be settled on the field, in a playoff.Biffhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02094307585738549191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-1163182117930822352006-11-10T13:08:00.001-05:002006-11-10T13:08:00.001-05:00G.

Wolfe (remember this name? what happened??)</I><BR/><BR/>Teams discovered that NIU could not beat them with the passing game, and stacked 8-9 in the box to stop Wolfe.<BR/><BR/>Since NIU runs a one-back offense, that means anyone who gets through the O-Line gets a free shot at Wolfe in the backfield. This has happened a lot in the last four weeks, in which Garrett has rushed for less than 100 yards each week.<BR/><BR/>Our offensive coordinator, John Bond, is an idiot for not adapting the offense to utilize Wolfe as they did against Ohio State ... as a west-coast-style back who is integrated into the passing game.<BR/><BR/>It worked well against OSU, but NIU has not done what they said they would do, which is feature Garrett more in the passing attack. Defenses now key on him in running situations, and ignore him on passing downs (where he has basically been either a decoy or a blocking back to help with the blitz).<BR/><BR/>In short ... people figured out how to stop him ... over-play the run and dare us to beat you through the air. And we're not that good in the vertical passing game to do that.<BR/><BR/>Brien "Embarrassed that the wheels came off the Heisman wagon so quickly ..."Brienhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02142518678601441313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-1163182103490524342006-11-10T13:08:00.000-05:002006-11-10T13:08:00.000-05:00Biff, so why would you just assume that they suck?...Biff, so why would you just assume that they suck?

But as I predicted, Rutgers beat Louisville and come Dec. 2, RU will fall to WVU (who won't lose another game). This will definitely throw a wrench into the BCS! Who do you pick after the Mich/OSU winner? I'm sure USC will lose 1 or 2 more games. I think all those SEC teams will beat themselves up and end up with 2 losses (Florida, Arkansas, Auburn). So that leaves Texas and Notre Dame - which I think will both come out with only one loss? Who do you pick then? You could argue that Notre Dame should go in when the beat USC, but USC won't be a quality win by then. You could argue for Texas, they're only loss is against OSU and they'll probably play Nebraska (a pretty decent team) in the B12 champ. game. We may just end up with a Texas/OSU rematch. Or Mich/Texas. Those two games actually sound like good matchups.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-1163179780284233382006-11-10T12:29:00.002-05:002006-11-10T12:29:00.002-05:00nep1293,I agree, and I think there is a strong cas...nep1293,<BR/><BR/>I agree, and I think there is a strong case that BYU is definitely better then Boise State.

It would make for some real interesting discussion on how they could justifiably be excluded from the BCS championship game. :-PGenerikhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16112483711587284723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-1163179648697353962006-11-10T12:27:00.000-05:002006-11-10T12:27:00.000-05:00Phil~ Troy Smith has Gonzalez, Hall, Robiskie....G...Phil~ Troy Smith has Gonzalez, Hall, Robiskie....Ginn Jr. is just one of many.<BR/><BR/>GO BUCKEYES!!!jenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04201013604925494268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-1163179445169634412006-11-10T12:24:00.000-05:002006-11-10T12:24:00.000-05:00Highlights from last night's BYU/Wyoming game:Clic...Highlights from last night's BYU/Wyoming game:<BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://www.cstv.com/media_server/play.smil?school=cs&media_type=video&specialtemplate=rev2&bumper=first&content=http://mfile.akamai.com/9192/wmv/cstv.download.akamai.com/9192/cstv_videos/football/1106/110906_wyoming_byu_hi.asx" REL="nofollow">Click here</A><BR/><BR/>Michael Reed's TD catch was #2 on Sportscenter top 10 last night.<BR/><BR/>Mckay Jacobsen (Punt return) is a true freshmen... was Texas 5A MVP last year.Biffhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02094307585738549191noreply@blogger.com
